![]() HD Didn’t have the mini kreg jig in stock (bummer, I was so looking forward to testing that jig out) so the alternative was to use L brackets to attach the frame pieces together and the metal sheet to the back. Then I just had to wait for the paint to dry and the battery for my drill to charge! I originally was going to leave the sheet silver however I tested it by taping it to the wall and quickly realized I didn’t like it, the reflection of the wood floor caused the metal sheet to look dirty / gold so I decided to paint it white while I painted the pieces of wood. I did a dry fit after cutting the metal sheet I began by measuring the old air return vent, length was 25″ height was 14″ or there about, I took 3″ off the height since I did not want to miter my corners, I wanted to keep this in the same style as the board and batten, if I didn’t have board and batten on this wall I would have mitered the corners to look like a picture frame and I would have used wider wood. Wood for your frame (I used 1×2’s), Aluminum sheet, cutters, tape measure, L brackets (or kreg jig) glue, nails (hinges or counter sunk screws, if you use a filter behind this return vent) This project was so fast and simple seriously the hardest part was caulking and the longest part was waiting for the paint to dry! HD had a few different designs for the aluminum sheets, I went with the same style we had in the house I grew up in which is Union Jack. After spending two hours at hd, (laughing for the majority of it), thanks to Dominic and Joshua who work there, they helped me find everything I needed for this project and for two other projects I’m working on, they both had my neighbor and I crack up laughing the whole time! Little did I know I would be spending a Friday night at HD this way and giving Dominic a “WooHoo” when we completed my shopping list! I decided to take a cue from the house I grew up in that had steam radiators, I new the metal sheets used on those would bring in the charm I was looking for, I still had some 1 x 2’s in the basement that I could use to make the frame for this so off to home depot I went to purchase an aluminum sheet of metal. A bee screen prevents any incests from entering your home through the air intake vent.I recently added board and batten to one wall in my kitchen however this wall has the air return vent on it, the style of the old air return vent left much to be desired, it did not match with the board and batten.
